Hi Emacs Developers,

I thought this was an org bug but it turns out an Emacs one. See the
discussion thread in: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/12885.

Here is how to reproduce.

1. Make an overlay
   Org mode is used only to easily create such an overlay that could
   demonstrate the bug.

   -  In a new buffer in org mode, begin a line with a few spaces and
      then type in http://www.google.com

   -  Move the cursor to be within that url and type 'C-c C-l' and follow
      the minibufer prompt to change the 'description' to 'google'

2. Put the point to the left of the url overlay and try move the cursor
   into the overlay. You can see when it reaches the first character of
   the overlay, it appears stuck.

Daniel Clemente in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/12887
analysed the cause.

Kind regards,
